They don't want an enlightened future. They want an oppressive future, in which they get to dominate by subjugating everyone else.

Unpopular opinion, but I find Terry Pratchett hard going. I just can't get into his level of zanyness.

I don't think we even disagree. It is possible for both pensioners and young people to be aggrieved by a failing system for different reasons.
It's v telling that pensioners are *already* unhappy with the state pension age going up. How much worse will it be in 40 years for those starting work now?
